Rubbleville RC Park
Been thinking about this for several years & had several places around the yard as candidates. This spring we finished removing an old run down flower bed that was here when we purchased the house 3 years ago. Dug up the plants we wanted to keep & moved them elsewhere. Was going to level it out and plant some grass on it. This is when the light went off, why not make it into the crawling course. It's in the shade except for early morning, it's already has no vegetation, there's a gazebo near by for resting, sounds like a good place to me. Got the approval from the bride so it's a go.
Been collecting rocks that I have dug up doing other projects for the last several years, had it stored down in the back by the creek. Also had some skateboard ramps that I bought to use on a race track I had at my other house. One set of ramps made into a table top so I thought that was a good starting point. Placed it where I wanted it & started throwing rocks at it more or less willy nilly so it would look sort of natural. The ramps are pretty slick so I'm not sure yet how I'll secure them, I thinking with a little dirt with some cement mixed in should do the job. The ramps will have multiple entry & egress points. The ideal is to have the rock area and also some trails with obstacles.
I want to take my Mavic down there when the wind dies down and shoot an aireral shoot then I can sit and draw out different ideas.
Here's some photos of what's been done so far.
Added another ramp this evening and some more rock but didn't take any pictures. Hopefully I can work on it some more tomorrow
